National Expansion.
~ - TTe have never known a,period when there .
were so many evidenoea ofja rapld extension
of . American civilization over .the heretofore |
unsettled or deserted'regionß oftbia conti
nent, as the present. Every item of the nows
,of; the day seems to point in this direction, (
and the efforts now being mado to direct tho j
course-of-empire westward are so powerful, j'
that we, cannot bnt bblievo that they will lead ,
to the most extraordinary results. What is :;
our army doing 7 It is.chasing down tho red
man of the forest through his last haunts. It
is driving-him from tho fastnesses which,
Within a few year's, had never been trodden
by the foot of the white man; it is teaching
sad and bloody, but necessary, lessons of the
power of-this Government, to the monarebs
of-the forest, on the outskirts of Texas, in tho
wilds of Oregon, in the. wildernesses of Wash
ington Territory, thronghont Utah, and
wherever.ho dares show n hostile front to the
paio faces ; ob it Is off thousands of miles,
among the Mormons; in a region'which but a
few years since was almost entirely unex
plored. -Wagon roads are being constructed
over the whole route to onr
.Western States. One ovenßkt mail route has
been, repeatedly .travelled, and three .more
have been settled upon; and all these are but
precursors of the practical realisation of the
great project with which the minds of many
of .onr statesmen, and those of many of the
aotlve, .enterprising spirits oi the country
are' filled—the construction of at least one,
and perhaps Several great Pacific railroads.
Further south, a new route vih Tehuantepec
has Jost boen opened to California, by which
the trip can be made from New Orleans to
San Francisco in twelve days. And while the
red man is thus being swept away as so much
brushwood from . the . onward maioh' of pro
egress, or compelled to how his haughty nature
in- strict obedience, and .while'these routes.of
communication, which- will all form great
chains of civilisation are being established,
that tempting lure; mineral wealth, is inviting
and urging men to fill up our wild regions.
The Pike’s Peak and the South Platte gold
mines will certainly attract an immense crowd
of miners during the coming year. Notwith
standing the - unfavorable news from Frazer
river, we should not bo at all astonished if the
reports of gold deposits in Washington Terri
tory, which is immediately sonth oi it, should
be verified; and greatly accelerate the settle
ment of that region. Already the silver
: mines of Arizona have attracted around them
1 many energetic men. Thousands of longing
eyes, too, ara cast upon Sonora, and in the
natural coarse of things tho dsy cannot ho far
distant when it will be peopled by our,citizens
and beoome the property of onr Govern
ment. Waikbb’s filibustering expeditions.
In Nicaragua have been chocked, and very
properly•- too', for he has only brought
dißgraee upon., our national character, and
misery . upon , his misguided followers and
the people whose territory hb wishes to in.
vade. Bat the condition of Mexico is full of
significance. The discordant factions of the
' nation are doing their best to rend it into
pieces, and the better portion of its own citi
zens, as well as the civilized world, implore ns
to take possession of tho oountry, as tho only
means of , bringing order ont of chaos and a
stable Government ont of anarchy. It will
thus.be seen that, almost unconsciously to our
selves, wo are at this moment practically
making more rapid and notable atrides toward
the extension of onr civilization than at any
- former period of onr history. G.oldqn oppor
tunities are opening up. before na; and if onr
' statesmen.aro eqrial to the responsibilitlea of
their position, this period may he made one of
the most memprablo.and glorious in the history
of theßepnblio.
Real Estate in New York.
We published, on the 13th ult-, an article
showing the difference.between tho prices of
real estate in this city and New York, as
shown by the recently reported sales in the
New York Timti. Among the sales we then
referred to was the following:
"r Ootober 28th (we quote from report,) ten lots
eo, Fifth avenne,, between tSightv-elghth end
EightV.nlnth atreets, (over five mllea.from the
City Hall and two miles above-aU-lmorevements,)
at a considerable advance on 830,000, tho
prloe at wbioh it was lately Bold, We presume
that the property Cannot now be bought for much
less tbau $40,000 (It has since been add at
*35.000 )' Now at *36 000 the lota would aver age
$4,600 eaob, nr $72,000 por aore.”
As an evidence, of the continued extraordi
nary advance of vacant ground i n that city,
and what is doing thefo in the way of real
estate Investments, we give below an account
of) the sale of the same property, as reportod
In-tbe New York Times of Monday, the 20th
utt., which shows that the lots have again
been sold at an average-of $6,000 each, or at
the rato of $BO,OOO per acre although they
are, more than five miles from the City Hall,
and two miles above all improvements:
!' Mr. Ludlow reports the sole of the ton lots
heretofore noticed on Fifth avenue, between
Eighty-eighth and Eighty-ninth streets, being
eight on the avenne and one on oaeh stroet in tho
rear, for the snm of $5O 000. These lots wero
bought by Albert Horn, last August, of Peter Mor
ris for $30,000; resold by him last month to Almon
W. Griswold. Esq., for $35 000; now resold by
him to 800. W. Douglass for $50,000.” '
Herring’s “ Village Blacksmith.”
There is now on view, at the store of Mr. E. H.
Hnnt, northwest oorber of Ohestnnt and Fifth
streets, one of the finest English paintings ever ex
hibited In this oity. This is “ TlWVillage Black
smith,” by J. F. Herring, who, as an animal
painter, has a place next to Edwin Landseer, and
in the same rank with Bichard Ansdoll. For
many years, Mr. Herring has been at tbe head
of his profession, chiefly distinguishing himsolf as
painter of the winners of Jho St. Leger and the
Derby. Latterly, he has got far beyond this, as a
variety of fine snbjeot-pictnres from his skilful
hand amply attest. Many of these have been en
graved, and are well known in this country. Hlb
latest and best work,. " The Blacksmith,” en
graved by George Patterson, an Eogtish artist
of .repute, who died a few hours after he had
finished it, has been pnrohased, for $6,000, by the
Cosmopolitan Art Association, and will form one
of the, prizes at their oiisuing dlstribntion next
month, Mr. Hunt, who is tho Society's Honorary
Secretary hers, assures us that the current year
will end on" January, 1, 1850, that the subscrip
tion is $3, and that, besides ohanoes of winning
various valuable prises, each subscriber will re
ceive the illustrated Cosmopolitan Art Journal
(a monthly periodical of groat merit), with an
impression from Patterson’s engraving of "The
Village Blaoksmith',” whioh is a companion to
the well-known “ English Homestead” and “Eng
lish Farm Yard,” also by Mr. Herring.
Specimens of this fine engraving, plain and co
lored, bang In Mr. Hunt’sstore, side by side with
the original painting, and their exactness Is tbns
tested by strict comparison. We know’that the
engraving is richly worth $lO.
The piotnre tells its own story. The blacksmith
is Bboeing the horse, bis wife and dog standing by
’—a fine dog and a bonnie lassie of a wife, who
brings in his dinner, and whoso advent ho greets
with a smilo. Man and wife are portraits—tho
smith being Hicks, the Lanooshire field-preacher.
The horse is a portrait also, representing the fine
animal presented to Mr. Herring by Queen Victo
ria. The face of the horso is remarkably expres
sive. As for the greyhound—go to Mr. Kant’s
andjee him. Go to the extreme right, and you
see his elongated extent; pass gradually round to
the left, and see bow wonderfully be is fore
shortened. The ooloriDg is equal to tho drawing.
We ore glad to say that Mr. Herring, albeit born
in England, Is tbe son of American parents. We
hope that the picture may bo won In this country.
Meanwhile, It may be seen, free, of admission
oost, at Mr. Hunt’s, for a few days longer.

° Letter from “ Occasional. 9 ’
of The Press.} \
Washington Deo. 1,1858,
Tho town is rife with speculations in regard to
tho oharaoter of the forthcoming message of the
President and the reports of the Sroretarlcs. It
seems to be generally oonceded that Mexican
and Central Amerloan affairs will oomm&nd a
large share of attention, bat th&t the President
will be rather disposed to submit a statement of
the eondltlon of thoeo couatrioa and oar relations
with them, and to Bsk for advice, money, and
power to act in any contingencies that may arise,
than to oommit himself to any definite policy.
I fear that a oold shoulder will he turned upon
the great but languishing interests of Pennsyl
vania. Although Mr. Buobanan Is understood to
have repeatedly stated his anxiety to prove his
eentimied attachment to the doctrines which he
warmly espoused in former days, I shall be very
agreeably disappointed if he reaffirms them now,
although this is one of the most propliioas mo
menta for enforcing them that oould have been,
presented. The thunder of half-a-dozen fire
eaters inspires so much terror in his soul,
that be would rather incur tho 111-wIU of hun
dreds of thousands of the people of his own
State than their oensure. He is brave only when
he executes their behests of proscription, and he is
brave then in the same way that those soldiers are
who know that if they were to attempt to run from
an enemy, they would be shot down at onoe by
their own officers. The South has two Interests
whioh demand the proteotlon of the Government,
the slave Interest and tho sugar Interest. For tho
promotion •of the- slave interest long columns of
Presidential pmesnges oan be written, the whole
nation be plunged into repeated convulsions, and
new theories invented as rapidly as the slightest
demand for them is created. For the protection
of the sugar interest ah enormous tax is annually
levied upon the oonsumers of that article; and but
little is said upon tho subjeot. Ido not particu
larly object to all this, and only refer to-it here on
aooount of the comparative coldness whloh is mani
fested to all appeals for protection to the great In
terests of your State.
The news of the suooesaof Gon. W. H. Eelm,
the volunteer oandldate for Congress in the Berks
distriot, has pub Mr. Baohanan in a worse humor
than ever. Two Administration defeats in Old
Berks, after the immortal Jehu had been allowed
a wide range of patronage to provide for his pro
teges, after the people of that rebellious distriot
had an opportunity of expressing their gr&titndo for
the honor done them in fjhe selection of their great
man as Minister to Austria, and after his own law
partner, Mr. Wanner, had been seleoted the “ re
gular” oandldato to suooeed him, exhibit the
ingratitude of Bepublios in so terrible an aspect
that I doubt whether our venerable President ean
see a safe refuge for the country in anything short
of that “ military despotism” whloh he hasde
olared will be oertain to be established if the
praotice of using money to inffuenee elections is
not discontinued. What a pity it is that his edu
cation has been exclusively olvil and legal, and
tbpt he had not graduated at West Point! for if
this defeot had been remedied tho oountry would
have been oertain of always having, so long as he
lived, a firat-rato ruler of the kind indicated, op
hand whenever its necessities required one.
In France the press is fettered— terribly. But
in Amorioa it is free—very free—particularly at
• Washington, the oitadel of our national
The Union , the other day, published one of the
best things it has contained for a long tlmor-a late
speech of Senator pougl&s. Certainly there was
no great crime in a free press in a free oountry
1 doing a thing of this kind. But our rulers thought
otherwise, aud as through defect in onr laws,
, (whioh, perhaps, the President may yet have re-
medied before his term expires), the offending
journalist oould not be thrown into prison, the
editor of the Union (Mr. Guliok) who had au
thorised the insertion of the speech has been sum
marily discharged. Cannot the alien and sedition
laws be revived? Occasional.

President’s eyes is enough to make wiser men
than they mad. Sir William is now at Sxn Juan,

Matt. Ward, tho new Senator from Texas, ar
rived here a day or two slnco, and from his ante
cedents he attracted a good deal of attention.
He has a fine bearing, and, it is said, is an able
debater, and will represent Texas well in the Sen
ate. r But it is hard to improvo upon old Sam
Houston. He is a general favorite here among
men nnd women. As Moxieo now wins the atten
tion of the whole oountry, Mr. Houston will, the
ooming winter, press upon tho Senate his plan for
a protectorate over filoxioo. A great class of peo
ple baek him in the Idea, and among them a
body of woaltby English creditors. In a day or
two wo shall see what the President has to say
upon the subjeot.

A notioo having appeared in your paper in-
Tiling plans for the laying out of Fairmount Park
and requesting thoso competing to apply at tbo
office of the Commissioner of Oity Property, 1,
as onb of many competitors, applied for the ne
cessary information, but was surprised to find
there had not bo6n a survey made; neither oould I
learn the probable amount proposed to bo ex
ponded, or in faot any particulars whatsoever.
I would suggest that a topographical and de
tailed survey be at onoe made, and a photographio
copy of tho samo furnished to each oompotitor.
Suoh was the oourse pursued by the oity of New
York with regard to their park; and as the ex
pense of laying out any suoh ornamental work de
pends in a .great measure on tho topographical
features of the land, It is evidently of the greatest
importance that correot information be afforded.

The sohooner M. F. Webb, ot Brunswick, bound
for Hartford with a load of coal, during the storm
of Sunday Dight last dragged her anohor and struck
on a reef of rooks off Guilford, Conn., whore the
waves broke more than half-mast high, making a
complete breaoh ovor her. Tho persons on board,
oonsiating of tbe oaptaio, three men, tbo oaptain’s
wife and daughter, a little girl three yoars of age,
took rofugo in tbe rigging, one of the seamen
taking oharge of the little girl, while the captain
assisted his wife. In this situation, says the New
Havon Neios, they remained until tho afternoon of
Tuesday, being in full view of Faulkner’s Inland
wlthout&ny prospeot of relief. They wero all neurly
chilled through; the Incessant jerking of the ves
sel threatening to pitch them into the m&ddenod
feea beneath them. At thiß time, the man hold
ing the girl, worn out with tho great exertion he
was obliged to make, could do no more, and a
wave striking the doomed vessel, the little girl
dropped from bis arms and fell on tho deok and
w&b probably instantly killed, as tbo angry sea
washed the little body back and forth between the
railiegs of the deok in tho sight of its agonized
parents, aid was fio&lly carried te tho boiling sea
beyond.
During all this time, the keeper of the light
house at Faulkner’s Island had been watching
them, and at last he resolved to resoue thorn, or
perish In the attempt. Leaving his llttlo chil
dren alone, (his wife being absent ashore,) after
nearly swamping his boat several timoß, he suc
ceeded, by the greatest exertion, in reaching the
sohooner and resoulng the survivors, and landing
them on Faulkner’s Island. Mr. Brooks says
if he had a life boat, with tho assistanoe of a
man, he could have gone much sooner and saved
all.

MRS. E. H. CLEVELAND'S INTRODUCTORY LECTURE
Among the results of what has been termed
“ The Woman's Rights Movement,” the Impetus
it has given to oertain branches of female educa
tion is certainly commendable. The want of fe
male praotilionerf, in at least some of the depart
mentsof medical eoienoe, has long been felt, and
the flattering success whioh baa attended tho |
medical schools now established in this oity and
Boston, in fitting females for the high and honora
ble aaiiing of practising medicine, has, we think,
fully demonstrated that there aro no good rea
sons, on the ground of montal or moral superiori
ty, why the disoiples of Esonlaplus should be re-
Striated to the sterner sex. We nre warranted in
szylng that in this community the antagonisms of
prejudioe, and sober opposition of honorable con
servatism against femalo M. D has largely been
overcome, and that the popular mind is appre- '
heading tho need of onlightoned, Intelligent fe- .
male physicians.
Tnarooont visit to Boston tho writor had the ,
g«od fortune of meeting the physlolan and author, J
Miss Harriet K. Hunt, and a more finished medioal ;
scholar, and enlightened philanthropist, wo do not {
bellovo honors her profession. This lady has ap* j
patently so thoroughly overoome tho weakness of ;
her sex, that we feel It to be no unsafe presump
tion to state that shehas boon a practising physi
cian for more than twenty yoars. Her sucoess has
been marvellous, often baffling the understanding
of her contemporaries of a tnoro straightened aobool
than she adheres to. It may not be Improper to '
remark here, that the seoret of her sucoess in re* I
markable cases lies in her extraordinary diognostio '
powers. Her skill as a pathologist Is measurably 1
owing to the inventory she takes—so to speak—of ,
the idiosyncrasies, temperamental condition, age,
spiritual state, and other considerations of her
patient, for whioh it must be admitted the more
Impressible and sympathetic nature of woman i*
better qualified than that of man.
The Female Medto.il Oollego of Pennsylvania,
looated at No. 627 Aroh streot, commenced its
onrrent session on the 19th of October, at which
time the Introductory leoturo on bohalf of tie
faculty, to the oioss, wa9 delivered by Mrs. E. H.
Cleveland, M. D., who holds the professorship of
anatomy and histology in the institution. This
leoturo, of whioh the following Is a condensation,
-ia alike oreditable to its author and the cause for
which it speaks:
“As a profession, the hearings of our cause
upnn woman may not be disregarded. ‘ The
highest boon of existenoe,’ * the grand pabulum of
tbe human soul.’is useful, satisfying ocoupatlon.
‘ Something attempted, something done,’ must
graco tho pago of each day’s history, if one would
maintain tt oheerfal. joyous life, nnd the health
and happiness so often sought elsewhere in vain;
and our enterprise comes alike with hopes and
promises of blessing, to tho daughter of luxury
over-burdened with timO'Serving, and longing for
’ some.noble work, and the daughter of penury (\nd
want compelled to'labor at uncongenial and profit*
, lessmnp'oyments, and exposed to the temp’a'i ms
> o£ vice and crime; and truly royal hoarts will e r er
rise up in honor of a movement that promises to
oxteoa the area of woman’s usefulness and relievo
her alike fr6m the tedium of * nothing to do,* with
its trains of gossips and discontents and diseases,
and from the pains and sorrows and heart-aohings
of unrequited toil.
“As a question of rights we reoogniso the foot that
they have their foundation in duties and that ao*
oiety, in its growing qivilisfflion npd its advanoing
ißtprests, may, and often does, demand of woman
enlarged activities—that she stop asido from the
. beaten traok, and devote herself to the perform
. anoo of untried labors.
“As an educational movement, our enterprise hss
few equals. Tho great faot that tho civilization
Snd Refinement of any community are indicated
by the advance, morally and intellectually, of its
women, Is an admitted one, and has been so long
reoo£nDed and so fully*disoussed. that the expres
sion and even tho thought have beoome well-nigh
hdeknied. Historic scenes bavo been presented,
and the reoords of ancient ns woll as modern timns
ipade to attest the same truth- The simplo beauty
of Spartan life, with * the viptqe and
pf its women,’ 1 tbo,dignity’ and purity of their
manners, 1 * their vigorous health.’ * their lofty and
imposing beauty,’ has been contrasted with the
corruptions of Mohammedanism, and its womon
noted for efifemlnaoy, ‘falpehood, meannes*, and
licentiousness.’ Roman history baa been made to
show that, no less wero * tbo Luoretias the life of
the Republic ’ than ( the Mepsallnas the death of
the Empire;’ and in more modern France who
does not know that tho virtue and intelligence of
a Roland filled the party of a Robespiorre with
terror, while the gonlusof a Da Staol added power
to the faculties of a Talleyrand, and made tbo
heart of hTapoleon to quail with fear.
“ Our own statesman and philanthropist*, seeing
the importance of this truth, nn'd regarding the in-
and integrity of'Aiaerloan women as
among the pillars of the Republio, have en
couraged the establishment of schools and oolleges
for their education, and haro endowed them
liberally; and yet we may not disguise the faot
that with many suoh institutions tbe results have
been masgre and partial—that the attainments of
women have heon too often sqporSolal and con
fined to lighter elements of eoienoe and litera*
luto, the proprieties of dress, and' the arts of
pleasing ' '
“With the education of men tbe case haa ever
been different. Instraoted from oarly boyhood to
look upon life as real—as mode up ( of work and
Stflrn responsibility—they pass through thofr whole
period of stndy and discipline with tho firm con
yiqtion pressing apop them that tlroy pro perform
ing a wprk for the world; and in proportion to
strength of' that oonvictlon aro their energies
iHoreasod, thoi? activities quickened, and their
Jtnlnds ohlarged. Tho friends of woman's pro
gress. 11l looHog- wwr «V~. WA ntof -A .direct
unaurOnlte purpose—some worthy ultorlor end—
oommit a fatal mistake, wonder at their failure,
and establish themselves in the conviotion that
Nature haa set important distinctions between the
male and female mind, and that women aro inoa
pable of that depth and concentration of thought
and effort so necessary for great intelleotual at
tainments.
“Our enterprise prevents one department of
study in which her Acquirements shall be thorough
and of high praotiool avail Its influence upon
her moral nature oannot but bo favor.ibi© No
thing in the whole catalogue of human duties is
better fitted to give one exalted ideas of life and
Its responsibilities than ministering to the wants
of suffering humanity.
W* know it has been objeoted tbat familiarity
with snob suhjeotaas belong properly to thesolonce
of medicine, with Anatomy and kindred studies,
oannot fail to injure or destroy those feelings of
delioocy and refiLemontw]iiph hdd peculiar lustre
to the obaraoter of woman. Par be ft from us to
removo one restraint upon woman’s virtue, or
lefeen in any wise tbo demands of sootety that she
be characterized by tender affeottons and refined
dolioacy. Her strength lies ever in her integrity;
but wo look upon that sentiment nhioh would ox
cludo hor from knowledge so eminently adapted
to open, exalt, and purify her mind, as unworthy
of her regard, and debasing to the spirit that en
teitains it; and we strenuously advocate the neces
sity of giving to all woman a knowledge of the hu*
manbtdy, ‘with its marvellous beauty of struc
ture and offioe,’ and we do it remombe.'tng their
high vocation as nature’s appointed gnardiara of
ohildhood and youth, that os mothers and teaohers
they become natural conservators of the pubHo
health, and in an eminent dogree responsible for
the physical and moral ovlls which afflict society.
Tbo motions of body and spirit, and tbo import
ance of correot and systematic physical training
nnd devolopmont 09 a means of seonring a higher
iotellectnal and moral life, ape too little under
stood. In our idolatry of tafent we too often for
get the necessity of strong bodies; that enduring
physloul health is one of the conditions of abiding
mental strength, and that much of the wretched
ness and sin of life results from ignorance of just
hygtenio oonditfons.

which ran through a wooden partition in No 717. occu
pied by Low Is Booker and Monroe Rex, colored families,
and owned by John Booker. Before the families in the
house were Alarmed, the fire h’d made considerate
headway, and Mrs Booker, who was first awoke, had
much difficulty in making her escape She slept in the
attic with her nleco, who Is a child, and she wa* com
pelled to dash through the flames at the seoond story
to reach t o street She xeta very badly burned, hut
she had taken the precaution to wrap her niece up In
a quilt, and the child thus escaped Injury Rex and h a
wi'e slept in the front room on the s>cond story. They
were compelled to escape by dropping from the front
windows, the flames having cut < ff their retreat by the
stairway They were rescued by Officers Clerk, Al
bright, and Smith.
Mrs. R x sustained some injury from the air which
Bhe inhaled
The building In wh'eh the fire commenced was en
tirely destroyed, and the ocupants saved nothing but
the clothes with wh'ch they left their beds. The build
logwaa not worth over $6OO. It was insured.
All the buildings in the row were under a single roof
without battlement walls, and the flames spread to the
adjoining bouses with great rapidity.
No. 719, owned by the estate of Mr. John MoLaugh
lin, was unoccupied. It was wrecked. Loss $6OO
No 721, owned aod occupied br Eliza Williams, co
lored, was slightly damaged, Loss covered by insu
rance
No 715, owned by Wiliam Laudon, and occupied by
Itenjunin Watson, was considerably damaged Loss
covered by Insurance. Mr. Watßon saved most of his
effects.
Nos. 711 and 713, owned by Samuel Boyce, atd occu

aged by fire and flooded with water.
Nos 703, 705 707. and 709, owned bv Mrs, Jane
Christopher, and ooeupled by Cunningham McAdoo,
Lambert Thorn, George McLean, and George Collins,
were a’l more or less damaged, and the tenants of all
were turned into the street, with such effects as they
could save Tho ’o*4, although not great to the aggre
gate, falls heavily upon the sufferers, most of whom are
poos persona.
Baring the progress of the fl *e a young man named

roof, from wbioh the fire Is supposed to bays origlnried.
has been very much obarred, anfi completely dried, by
the extensive fires the? have been obliged to keep up
In their furnsces. The loss Is estimated at $1 000,
whloh Is fplly lnsured In the Hand-In-Hand and other
companies.
Change in Postal Arrangements.—lt will
be seen, by referring to our advertising oolumns, that a
change of hour for the departure and arrival of

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAI.
The Money Market# •
Philadelphia, Dec 1,1856,
The business of the Stock Board to-day was below the
average In amount with little variation In prices. The
fancy stocks continue depressed, and to-day’s sales
show a falling eff of if in the prico of Reading Railroad
atook, in the face of many opinions that there was al
most a certainty of its Improving. Its fiscal year ter
minated on the last day of November, and the total
tonnage of the year wa51,542 591 tons against 1,T09 : 551
tons in 1857, a falling off of 165,960 tens,
The fiscal year of tbe Leblgh Valley Railroad Com
pany also ended on Tuesday} and tbe total tonnage for
the year was 471,000 tons—an increase over 1867 ef
about 53,000 tons.
Oaupqna forwarded to California by the steamer of
December sth. from New York, will reach there In
time for collection, and tho remittance of the proceeds
by the return m*il of January 6th. The New York pa
pers also represent the necessity of prompt aotlon on the
part of the holders of California State debt not yet con
verted into the new seven per cent bonds. It seems
that a olerioal error of $200,000 or more in the
amount of the ac’nal debt has had the effect of leaving
abont that amount unprovided for under the new law,
bat it is nevertheless important that the holders of the
old evidences cf debt should forward their claims
promptly, and receive the benefit of the new arrange
ment that will probably be made this winter for their
settlement.
The Lehigh Caoal tonnage for last wftk was 26 211
ton", against 19,517 in the corresponding week of 1667, a
gain of 0,694 tons.
The following is the description of the new counter

day last:

Tbe monthly statement of the United States Treasu
rer shows that by the returns received up to November
22d, there was subject to draft at the different deposi
tories $6,059,824. Of this amount $3 884,986 was at New

The fame of Aau tl Lu»traU u is not familiar to her

She knows ro “ Hatr Restorative,” and sheds a bitter

A few short months are past—behold that maldeaon

And throwing loose her long dark hair, which flutters

She breathes a prayer that Hauel’s name in after time

BURNETT’S OOOOAINB.
BOBTOS, July 19,1867.
10“ Messrs. J. Burkett A Oo.—l cannot refuse to
state the salutary effect in my own aggravated case of
your excellent Hair Oil—(CoooMne )
For m&oy m nths my hair had been falling off, until
I was fearful of losing it entirely. The skin upon my
head became gradually more and more iuflamf d. so that
I could not touch it without pain. This irritated con
d tlon I attributed to the use of various advertised hair
washes, whloh I have since been told contain camphene
spirit.
By tbe adv'oe of my physician,.to whom you bad
shown your process cf purifying the Oil, I commenced
its use the last week in June. The first application al
layed the itehing and irritation; in three or four days
the redness and tenderness disappeared—thehtir ceased*
to fall, and I hare now a Crick gro nth of new hair.
Youia, very truly,

No Mere Poisoning.—For years the Piles has
been one of the most prevalent, as it Is the edoU ob

raper is made of rotated legs, end is otherwise (ow

poisonous. When printed on, the ink mak-.s it doubly
dangerous acd deleterious. QATsirr’a medicated pa
